How quickly we forget that Morrow won IEM Season V- Global Challenge Cologne.
Maybe he deserves to be first with Zerg after so many zerg runner up finishes (Assembly Winter 2011, SC Reddit Invitational 2011, TeamSpeak TL Open 14) kekeke

Not really surprised by the fact that kare and skruffy qualified, hopefully it will be a little easier in the last qualifier

cheese happens in sc why are you people so worried about pro's getting cheesed out. Its as if it affects you financially to see a top pro gets cheesed. I personally think its great. They are pro's they should be able to deal with cheese. I think people fail to realize that its better for the community if some random guy who doesn't play much cheesed his way to a victory, then some grizzled pro who plays all day everyday. The former would bring wayyy more new people to the game which= money

First went to TG in 1996 and last time in 1998, but actually going there again this year.
Regarding prices - they are that high because of the cost of everything in Norway. With 3% unemployment and the lowest pay you get is about 20$ it's like that. The wages would be even higher if not for the about 100.000 workers from Sweden*, Poland, etc.
*Actually Norway and Sweden have typically exchanged work-force in good/bad times. About 15 years back, norwegians went to sweden to get a job.

Why does that lead to more new people? :S Seeing mediocre players play games that last for 5 mins tops or games with really good players duking it out in awesome and exciting long games?!

Keep in mind everyone, that everything in norway is quite expensive. And yes, I mean EVERYTHING.

Personally, I'm worried about pros getting cheesed out by lesser players because they will not be able to provide pro level games for me to watch. I also don't see why lesser players should bring more people to the game; why would newbies want to watch lesser players when they could also watch well-practiced pros? By your logic, millons of people would prefer Rebecca Black over Kylie Minogue.

I went to the gathering every in 1999, 2000 and 2001. was loads of fun, definitely recommended for anyone who wants an all-out lan experience with everything that entails of horrible hygiene, horrible music, and fun fun fun times playing computer games.
I got second in the 1999 starcraft tournament and third in the 2000 2v2 tourney as well! (knocked out by the awesome might of sven+slayer.) not sure I recommend it for anyone going there just to play the tourney though, and anyone older than 16 would be adviced to rent a hotel room or at least have some facilities outside the actual gathering.

I can say as much as that we are looking into the person who said he didn't get his money. We do pay out.
It's not just hardware, but some of the price money might be hardware. It's just an extra caution we have in case somethings happends.
Cheers = )

I read the thread, did you?
The prize money issue was not from a TG compo, but someone else hosting a tournament on TG, do you understand the difference? It's quite common for tournaments to give some hardware out, but if you think this means that TG will award $5100 worth of hardware to first place in starcraft you aren't really getting it.

Also, I got my prizes from The Gathering when I competed. In fact, I think the gathering is the only tournament to ever have given more prizes than they were supposed to - me and my brother got like 1000 crowns more than the prize pool indicated in the 2000 2v2 tournament. Don't remember exactly what the prize pool was and how much we got, but we definitely got more than we were supposed to.
